On Wednesday, they will be produced for custody, the police in Copenhagen stated.

The 36-year-old man who was killed on February 4 was also a Swedish citizen. A third man has also been arrested by Swedish police in the case. He is a Danish citizen, but he did not want to be extradited voluntarily.

According to the police, all three are part of the gang environment in Malmö, and the murder is believed to be gang-related. The man was shot several times on an open street in the downtown area. He was taken to the hospital, but his life could not be saved.
